    What they do best!
    Dale O.

    Back again to a trusted place. Smog check for my car registration. Great overall value. Awesome quality of service. Professional and personable at the same time. What else can I say? 6 years and counting. Still highly recommended for your Smog Service requirements.

    Needed a Smog test last minute and made inquiries to nearby shops. They were super responsive and were able to accommodate me within 15 minutes of reaching out. Great pricing with available discounts. They were able to assist me as soon as I arrived at the shop, and finished within 15 minutes! Grateful to have found this place!

    This is a simple smog test location. They will get you in and out quickly. There are places to sit and relax during the service.

    Ask the Community - A1 Test Only & Smog

    Is a smog check the same as an emissions test? I also have a Groupon for $39 that I haven't boughten yet. Does that work if I were to come tomorrow?

    Hi Nicole. To answer your question, yes an emissons test is a smog check. Took my older car there during my lunch break and the guy over there got me in and out. I recommend and the boss you deal with here is very prompt with messaging. Don't know… Read more

    I just stopped by and you were closed. it's Wednesday. Yelp says you're open on Wednesdays?

    We are celebrating Eid today (religious holiday for Muslims). Will be back to normal schedule tomorrow. sorry for the inconvenience.

    How much is the smog check for a car?

    Hello. been trying to make an appointment but no one picks up the phone or voicemail not set up?

    Only one guy working there so if no answer he is probably with a customer. You can try again later or just drive over.

    Got a Groupon deal since my sister referred it, but Ali can match the price if you go straight there without Groupon.

    I recently had a great experience with Action Auto and wanted to share…read more My Honda CR-Z driver-side door handle mechanism stopped working (apparently a common issue with these cars). I had already purchased an OEM replacement handle from an authorized Honda parts dealer, and initially planned to have the dealership install it. However, the dealership quoted me a very high labor cost and required me to leave my car overnight due to their busy schedule. After doing some research, I found Action Auto in Cypress and spoke with Mark. From the very first phone call, Mark was friendly, professional, and transparent. Best of all, his quote was about half the price of what the dealership wanted to charge. The convenience was a huge bonus. They told me I could bring my car in anytime between 8am-5pm (and even Sundays 8am-3pm). I dropped off my car at 8:30am, and it was ready by lunchtime the same day. On top of that, they even offered a complimentary shuttle ride home--something the dealership no longer provides. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Mark's customer service was outstanding both over the phone and in person. The shop itself was clean and well-organized, and I noticed several repeat customers while I was there, which says a lot about their reputation. Most importantly, my door handle works perfectly now--just like when I first bought the car. I'll definitely be coming back to Action Auto for future repairs. Thank you, Mark, for making this such an easy and positive experience!

I came in today to get a quote for a check engine light related to an O2 sensor. Before coming in, I had already priced the part so I could confirm exactly what was needed. Prior to agreeing to the $200 diagnostic, I asked Brian whether any of that fee would be credited toward the repair if I moved forward. He told me that **half** would be credited, meaning $100, which I felt was fair. Based on that, I expected something close to the following: * Diagnostic: $200 ($100 credited) * Labor: $200 (install time is .9 hrs + 1 hr diagnostic) * O2 Sensor: $179 (the same OEM part costs $59.98 at any auto parts store) Brian then quoted me **$579 total**. When I asked about the previously mentioned diagnostic credit, he declined to honor it. I also asked if I could bring in my own part. That's when things really went downhill--and honestly, I wouldn't have posted this review if it weren't for what he said next. In a very belittling tone, Brian responded, *"Do you bring your own lunch to a restaurant?"* He then continued by saying the building costs $10K a month and that they're expensive because they can be. That may be true, but I'll never know--because I would never, under any circumstances, do business with someone who treats customers that way. Thanks for all your "help," Brian.

    Cypress Auto - Bare bones facility but they get the job done. Up front pricing, no surprises.

    Letter of Recommendation for Cypress Auto Repair 5043…read moreLincoln Ave, Cypress, CA 90630 To Orange county CA residence, My name is Fahim Fazli. I've proudly served in three tours with the United States Marine Corps in Afghanistan and have lived in this beautiful country for over 42 years. I have never been afraid to serve and protect both my birth country and my adopted home. However, I must admit that there are a few things I am afraid of: dishonest mechanics, dishonest lawyers, and dishonest dentists. Unfortunately, I have encountered too many of them across the United States. That's why I want to take a moment to sincerely recommend Cypress Auto Repair. I've known the owner for over 41 years, and no matter where I've moved or lived, I've never forgotten the honesty and integrity of this business. Recently, after some time away, I picked up the phone and called them again. I asked, "Do you remember me?" And without hesitation, they did. I brought in my Porsche for what I thought was a major headlight issue. But instead of taking advantage of the situation, they simply told me, "You only need to replace the bulb label, and we won't charge you for that--it's just part of what we do." That kind of honesty is incredibly rare. What makes this shop special is not just their skill, but the character of the owner. He owns the building and the land, so he doesn't have to overcharge people just to cover rent. When I asked why he doesn't charge triple like some other places, he humbly said, "Because I want to sleep well at night." That answer stayed with me. We need more honest people like him in every city--mechanics, lawyers, and dentists who care more about integrity than profit. I wholeheartedly recommend Cypress Auto Repair to anyone looking for honest, fair, and professional service. You'll be treated with respect, and most importantly, you'll be able to trust the people working on your vehicle. With deepest respect and gratitude, Fahim Fazli
